The whitepaper, authored by Jarvis Mak, senior vice president of customer success; and Roland Siebelink, head of campaign quality and productivity at Rocket Fuel, provides information on how to avoid common programmatic errors, and provides 11 best practices and case examples for effective programmatic execution. Some of the best practices include:

- How to integrate prospecting and retargeting efforts

- Effective ways to test multiple ad creatives

- Data collection best practices

Last fall, Magna Global estimated that $16.6 billion of digital media would be transacted programmatically in 2014, and account for close to a third of all display digital media buying globally. Since 2008, Rocket Fuel has combined AI with big data to autonomously run advertising programs for the world’s leading marketers across the globe, producing significantly better advertising ROI.

This whitepaper is a companion to Rocket Fuel’s “10 Questions About Programmatic Buying,” published last year, which to date has been downloaded over 5000 times.

“As with every major industry change, being armed with better knowledge can help give you that extra edge over your competitors,” said Jarvis Mak, senior vice president of customer success of Rocket Fuel. “Rocket Fuel has delivered data-driven programmatic buying solutions for thousands of marketers worldwide, giving us the unique opportunity to impart firsthand on-the-ground learnings to help marketers optimize their programmatic buying processes.”

Rocket Fuel will host a webinar on the 11 best practices and share additional insights from the whitepaper on May 8, 2014 at 1:00 PM ET.
